  1. A very comprehensive, and on the whole positive, review, shipmate.

    Me, I'm getting a bit perturbed with Loyalist Arms. I ordered my sea service pistol from them several weeks ago, haven't gotten it yet; e-mailed them last weekend, got an apology, the message that they're behind schedule but will ship next week (this was last week) and will e-mail me when they do. So far, no pistol, no e-message. ^_^

    Hey Will I've bought several pieces in the last couple of years from them (Steel to Shot) and have never had a problem or delay. Thanks to this and a few other boards they have become quite popular. Sorry you are having difficulties but sems to just be your week in the barrel.

  2. Hey Savvy. I'm in the same boat as you so to speak. I was notrious for getting car sick on even short rides as a child. Couldn't and still can't go on the spin and puke rides at amusment parks. But I spent a few summers in Alaska on a commercial Salmon Fishing Boat. Alaska That boat is only (by law) 33 1/2 ft. long and 14 feet wide. The only time I got seasick was when we had some bad weather. 15 ft. swells. So I laid as close to the keel as I could and slept as much as possible during those times (only twice). Good lucj too ya.

  3. Bess,

    For those o' us who dinnae know, how does one contact the SAG an' inquire as tae "membership" within the union? Thanks e'r so much for the information.

    With Respects,

    Simple you have to have a SAG contract to get a SAG job. You have to be SAG in order to get the contract. You can't join SAG till you have a contract. Outside of that it's being in the right place at the right time. I'm what's known as SAG Elligable. ie I've had SAG contracts but have never joined. I can at anypoint I want to shell out the bucks. Doesn't make much since in this area of the country as Texas is a right to work state. It's also $900 to join. Then the local does nothing to protect you here. Now being in the right place at the right time may get you signed or Taft Hartlied where you have 1 year to join. I backdoored my first contract. Was doing all the special effects and scene work for a Haunted House company. We decided to make a training video. Got the owner to go down and fill out the paperwork as the producer. Then he gave us contracts to perform the video. "Haunted Houses 101: A Survival Guide For Monsters" simple lovely piece of tripe.

  4. Haha, I'm actually sewing (or going to be) for me daughter's cheap suede Walmart boots. Plus I'm making suede pouch meself out of what is left. It's pretty thin Tandy Leather type stuff though, bought it at the local craft store. For the pouch, I don't expect it to last very long, just something to go with me costume that holds me real world wallet while at faire ot festival.

    Anyway, I would love to see how the stuff you make turns out.

    I get allot of my leather now days from www.leatherfactory.com

    My pleasure. I've been doing leather work for re-enacting for many years. And some of the best things I've seen come out of people who just had a simple design in their head and worked it out. That's what a Pirate would have done. We was the first Marines. Adapt and Overcome.

  6. Ok folks, here's the coin. Let's see if we can help this mate out. It seems to be Prussian ie it's Wilhelm III. In it's current condition I would say it's around $35.00. But again something is only worth what they will give you for it. There's an 1866 running on ebay for $5
